So I got this crazy idea to see what it would be like to turn one of my SATW embroidery patterns into Lego. I raided my oldest son's Lego stash for the job as he was away on school camp and couldn't complain about the mess I made hehe (that youngest has less bricks has absolutely nothing to do with it ).

First I built it one brick wide and counted one lengthways stud as a stitch but my son just didn't have enough black and white Lego that wasn't already in use in other projects for me to do that so I had to take it apart and start again.

I then decided to borrow one of youngest's large grey base plates and used that as the base to build on and counted one stud as one stitch and I found that I had *just* enough black and white to just about complete it - I would have preferred to completely cover the baseplate with white but well.. I need to top up the kids Lego bricks first lol

*gasp* How could you? I'm the SatW LEGO artist around these parts! Although...you went mosaic-style instead of making custom minifigs, so you are not encroaching upon my domain just yet...

Joking aside, this is cute. If I'm understanding you right, it wouldn't have worked all that well the way you originally planned to do it. Single-stud LEGO bricks are noticeably taller than they are wide, so it would have come out elongated and off-model.

Is that a Technic vehicle base I see near the upper right-hand corner? (This is just me establishing my cred.)

Thanks I've had years of practice though.. been playing with my kids and their Lego since they were 6 months or so started them on "baby primo" Nowadays I don't play with them as often as I used to - they are growing up and can do the more difficult builds themselves now.
